. 1p i A BELT-BUCKLE ATTHMENT.

To all @baum may concern; i

` `Be itiknown 4that I, lnivJi[11N'Snofin,v a citizen of theUnitedStates, residing at New York, iii the countyof `New York and Statef ofNew York, have invented new anduseful Improvements `in Belt-BuckleAttachments,

` of which the following is av specication.

` `This invention relates to belt buckles.

More particularly the invention relates to attachments forl thesecurement of the belt o to the buckle.

relation tothe buckle and without the neces sity of sewing or stitching;to combine with an ordinary belt buckle, an attachment in virtue ofwhich one end of a belt may be held in securement with relation to thesaid buckle, and also permitting the ready adj ustment of the belt as tolength. lith these and other objects in view the invention resides inthe particular constructiony and relative arrangement of partshereinafter more fully described and illustrated in the accompaiiyingdrawing, in which Y Figure l is a side elevation of the back of anordinary belt buckle and showing the preferred form of the attachment ofthe present invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional View taken on the line 2-2, Fig. 17 butshowing the Securement of one end of a belt.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to the view shown in Fig. 2, but showing' amodified form of attachment. Y i

Fig. 4- is a detached perspective view of another modified form ofattachment.

Referring more particularly tothe drawings for the details of thepresent invention it will be manifest that, the belt buckle 10 to whichthe attachment 11 is applied, may be of any of the types in present useand on the market. The buckle 10 consists essentially of a frame 12which denes sides 13--13 and ends lei-14, and a central part 15 to which19-19. The parts `20---20 define a space 21v lwhichaccommodates the eye22 of the tongue held in' securement with relation to the buckle. Theattachment 11 is applied to the .l z Specification of Letters Patent.VPatelltd Jllll 21, 1921. iippification"fue@nebenbei?iglesia.` serialn0-427,55a.

esV

buckle 10 by the use of clips 24. In the seourement of the attachment 11to the buckle 10 each of the clips 211: encircles the part 15 and part20.` The endv portions 25 of the clips 241 are disposed in the sameplane with the parts 19-19 thus providing an arrangement of parts forsetting up impinging action between portions 26 and 27 of a loop 28formed at one end of a `belt 29 as shown in Fig. 2.

From the foregoing it will be manifest that, one end ofa belt may bereadily secured with relation to a buckle without requiring sewing orstitching of parts of a belt together and at the same time the length ofthe belt may be varied to be comfortably and effectively useful.

V.in the form of the attachment shown in Fig. 3, the central parts 30-30are provided with flanges 31. The purpose of the flanges 3l is to allowthe proper space beo tween the frame ofthe attachment and the frame ofthe buckle for the portions of the loop at the end of the belt tobesecu'red, and

at the same lime allows the hereinbefore referred to portion of theclips 24 to be disposed as explained when a type of buckle'32 is usedin'which the central tongue supporting part 33 is in the same plane withthe sides 311 of the buckle'32.

ln the form of 'the attachment shown in Fig. et, the parts 555-155thereof are pro vided with onev or more, preferably two projections 36which engage sides of the buckle and prevent the attachment end'havingthe tongue which might cause the belt to bulge andpresent an unsightlyappearance. This form of attachment is also provided with an apertured'projection 37 for'the attachment of a strap connected to a loop whichl`encircles the secured end of the belt and the free end thereof afterthe saine has been passed through the buckle,

What is claimed is 1. The combination with a buckle includsaidprojections `from moving against the frame lizwing an intermediateportion,y the freineV being Wholly'concealed by the vbucklev anddisposedl at the ref xrsde .of the latten, and eVbendable-tongue-bar-engaging imeans Y cov-acting With Y, saidYintermedia-te secure the freine to the buckle.
